New TV in celebration of GTA4
brainderailment \| 2:53 PM on 04.28.2008	31 comments

Some of you may remember my other tv that I posted in my obligatory "my setup" post. Anyway, yesterday after buying an RCA (720p) tv for $898 I found out that it didn't display enough colors when I hooked up the ps3 via HDMI. It was horrible, it separated any gradients into tiger stripes. So I did what every good walmart shopper does, I took it back to exchange it for the Vizio. The TV rep. told me about a 1080p Vizio that wasn't on the display floor, which was only $998. So I bought it.

Anyway, this is a picture of my OLD tv.

And my new, Vizio 42" 1080p LCD.

So I'm going to enjoy my night with GTAIV.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

BlackSheep

we have that TV in our living room, though the new one with the silver speakers.

only difference is contrast ratio though. it's an amazing tv.

Y0j1mb0

Nice TV and that is how you celebrate GTA IV right!!

shipero

How many HDMI inputs does it have?

Jordan Devore

Good choice going with the Vizio.

DarkTravesty

@ shipero: i think that model has two. i'm not sure though

Mr Wilson

I have the 32 inch Vizio with the silver speakers like Black Sheep. you simply cant touch the price. Especially since the picture is great too plus I have like 492034 inputs on that shit.

Kryptinite

That's it...when I get my fake "stipend" from the government, I'm buying a 42in Vizio.

Mr Wilson

WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR PS3??

Mr Wilson

NM thats what i get for not reading the first setup post...

iDano84

Lots of people bash the Vizio brand, but they really do have a nice picture.

B-Radicate

I am so excited for tonight. I'll be playing GTAIV on my 7 foot projector screen in glorious HD.

Everyone shall be happy tonight. Everyone.

Kryptinite

I won't be happy tonight...

Although Amazon just sent me an email telling me that they have shipped my game :).

@brainderailment

3? Damn, I was going to save up for a Bravia for my next TV but I might just get a Vizio now. Good picture and 3 HDMI ports for under $1000 is really good.

Darkknight37

<--- Still jealous, still bitter, still drives and '89 Escort.

m3ds

Really nice tv, especially for the price.

Clockwork

That's awesome. I've got a raging clue right now.

Gameboi

Nice! I'm still saving up for one.

Scape

Vizio's are really good for their price point. I picked one up at Coatco and got a pretty good deal for it. My only complaint is that the volume for voices isn't as loud as everything else. So it's hard to hear people talking on a mic if I am playing online. Other than that it's great.

ArrestedDeveloper

Hmmm, I will be getting that $600 from the government soon....

Skribble

Very nice man!!!

Welcome to the 42" club

May your gaming be more vibrant and fun :D

Nessie
